Hoo boy, am I getting frustrated. :)



Okay, I KNOW that a foundation is only as good as the

skin that it's applied to. I KNOW this. BUT, after

trying MAC Studiofix and having it advertise all of

my dry spots I thought I had done a fairly good amount

of homework to come up with someothing similar that

would not do that. After reading several message boards

and consulting (via telephone) with a saleslady at Nordstrom's,

I was convinced Urban Decay Surreal Skin was it.



Not so. I just received a refill tin of "Dream" from

ebay (great way to try things without breaking the bank)

and applied it and wow, it does a worse job than Studiofix

for showing off my dry flaky spots. What a bummer, too, because

the color matches and it's such a baby fine powder. Oh, I am

so sad! I can't give it a rotten review because of my own

flaky skin, but I can warn other women who have dry skin that this

product is NOT FOR YOU.



Unless anyone else has a suggestion for a foundation in a compact, then

I will bite the bullet and order Vincent Long's water canvas.



Suggestions are always welcome. :)
